An Update On Bobby Lashley To The UFC Inside, More

While on the most recent edition of ESPN’s MMA LIVE, former collegiate and WWE wrestler Bobby Lashley discussed his career aspirations, which include the UFC…

“Everybody wants to be in the UFC. It’s the pinnacle of this sport, so of course I want to be there.”

Lashley also mentioned that he would consider appearing on “The Ultimate Fighter” to make going to the UFC a reality…

“I think appearing on ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ would be something great. I saw that, and they said, ‘Heavyweights,’ and I was like, ‘Yeah, let’s jump on it.’ I think it would be great because what I’m trying to do right now is prove myself. And on ‘The Ultimate Fighter,’ you have to prove yourself. I talked it over with my management and my trainers and everything, and they have mixed opinions on it – if I should go there, or if I should stay out and do different fights.”

But Lashley also admits that he has a long way to go in order to get to the next level…

“This is a building process. When I get to the UFC, I want to be a serious contender for the title. I don’t want to just be another guy going into the UFC because it’s a grand stage and build there. I don’t think that’s what I need to do. I need to stay in the undercard, and stay in some of the smaller fights, and get more fights under my belt – get some fights like my last fight where it doesn’t go the way that I wanted. I’ve got to seal the deal. There’s a lot of learning in this game.”
